The UAE’s best swim-up bars

Staying in the UAE as temperatures soar doesn’t have to mean you have to spend four months a hot sticky mess. Some of the nation’s hotels and beach clubs have the coolest ways to take respite from the sun. You can dive into a chilled pool and surface to a refreshing ice-cold drink without even having to grab a towel. Whether you stay in Dubai this summer or visit one of the neighbouring emirates, there are plenty of places where you can backstroke to your beverage.
